Well appointed accommodation in beautiful location

We so enjoyed our stay in this well appointed accommodation with views of the Moyne River and moored boats. Stroll along the river and walk to Griffith Island or walk into town for coffee or a meal . Central location in this picturesque town but at night so quiet we could hear the roar of the sea.

Johannson’s Perch Cottage

Lovely little cottage, perfect location we didn’t get into the car once, just walked everywhere. Lovely food available in local village. Loved the river for walks. My only complaint was the reverse cycle heating didn’t work. Luckily the wall heater did. It was a very cold weekend & when I arrived & tried to heat the place up, it took me a while to realise. Otherwise lovely little cottage.
The beautiful wharf, two minutes walk.
A cray that was sold off a boat on the wharf.

Great location and well appointed BUT the main bedroom wreaked of dog urine, disgusting. When we returned home I had to wash our clothing twice to get rid of the horrible smell.
